Selena Gomez Weeps for Billy Crudup’s Dead Son in First ‘Rudderless’ Trailer (Video)

Billy Crudup plays a tightly-wound executive whose life thrown into disarray after a school shooting claims the life of his son in “Rudderless,” William H. Macy‘s directorial debut.

His character, Sam, steps back from the business world, drops off the grid and moves onto a sailboat. He’s both figuratively and literally adrift until he stumbles across the music his son left behind.

Co-star Selena Gomez, who is teary-eyed and grief-stricken throughout, is hoping to bounce back after “Behaving Badly,” which was universally loathed by critics earlier this month. Macy’s inspirational musical drama might be her chance.
